My invention relates to improvements in sterilizers for hair clippers and the like, and the object of the invention is to devise a simple device into which hair clippers may be readily inserted without detachment from the driving cable so that the clippers may .be readily sterilized and always ready for imme- `the front edges of the side walls lx'and l being inclined as indicated in Fig. 2. The top cover for the opening 2X hingedly connected to the back wall 3 at el* and provided at its freeV forward edge with an 11p-turned lip 4. 5 ist a wall extending between the side walls 1 and wall 2 is provided adjacent the rear wall 3V with a transverse slotted opening 2X. l is a 1 and between the top wall 2 adjacent the front edge of thefopening 2c Vto the bottom wall 6 adjacent theY inner end of the slotted opening 6X and provided in its upper portion with perforations 5X, by this means a chamber is formed access to which is obtained through the opening 2X.

ent material S'whic'h is soaked with a suit.-

i able antiseptic liquid such as formaldehyde,

the fumes from which pass through the perorations 5X into the main chamber of the casing 1. The forward side edges of the slot 6x are preferably flared outward as indicated at 6O so as to permit of the clipper head being readily inserted. i 9 is a front cover hingedly mounted at 10 tothefront end of the top wall 2 and held by gravity against the inclined edges of the side walls 1X and 1.

In order to render the device fume tight I preferably provide flaps of felt 11 and 12 at f the bottom Aof the fumes therein4 1t is necessary to do is for the operator to ent material each side of the slotted opening through whichl 'thefclipperhead 13 is passed so that the'v shoulder 13X of the clipper head will rest upon support the head within themain chamberof thecasing 1,'so as tokbe'exposed tothe laction to-sterilize it. f Y Therbottom wall A6` is preferably also provided with projections 61at each side of the slot 6X. adjacentV its front tions being provided with an upwardly and rearwardly inclined upper face therebyV form- .Y ing a shoulder at 71 over which the head is slipped. In inserting the head in vposition all vwall as indicated in Fig. Also as to 5 5 edge, such projecgrasp the head engaging it Vwith the lower downwardly projecting edge portion of the cover 9 so as to swing it forward and enable the head being means of the clipped bracket 14. If desired j the edges of the coversi9 and 4 may be also provided with felt so as to minimize thejescape of fumes from the main chamber` of lthe casing. e

From this description it will Ybe seen that I have deviseda very simple device whereby clippers and like articles lmay be readily sterj ilized and held always ready for use. vThis chamber is illed with ibrous absorb- Y kadjacent the front edge of the transverse opening and the rear edge of the bottom slotV and adapted to be filled with fibrous absorbhinged cover for thetransverse opening, and a hinged cover for the open front of the caspassed upwardly into the main chamber of the casing 1 and'into the slot 6 v soaked in vaporizable liquid, a
